My division manager keeps talking about his experience in STE and kept sharing his "valuable experience". Share about division finances say that we are in a good shape to expand, got headcount to hire more people etc. When I asked about my pay increment, he straight say pay and salary is considered Private and Confidential.

If your division is doing so well, what's so difficult about increasing your employees pay.

Someone had bronchitis, and you offered them division funds to buy air purifier.

Pay increment in STE is like never happening.
